Ancelotti questions Man U’s potential to win title

London, Apr 29 (ANI): Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has increased pressure on Manchester United by questioning whether they have the potential to win the Premier League.
Chelsea is back in the race to win the Premier League after dropping out of the contention at the start of the season.
A victory against Tottenham will leave them three points behind leaders United.
“When we were losing at home to United last month, we were looking at an 18- point gap at the top. But if we can beat Tottenham we will only be three points behind them and that would be fantastic,” The Sun quoted Ancelotti, as saying.
“That will be good motivation for us because we need to put pressure on United before their game at Arsenal on Sunday. The closer we can get to them, the more pressure we will put on them. United have the experience, tradition and the history to manage that pressure.
“But we want to keep the Premier League title open until the very last minute. To do that we have to beat Tottenham and then win at Old Trafford next weekend,” he added.
Ancelotti hopes rivals Arsenal can do him a favour, despite last week’s crushing defeat at Bolton which ended the Gunners’ own title ambitions.
The Italian also revealed he has been working with Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba in a bid to build a successful strike partnership. (ANI)
